Having magical super powers

Do you remember a time when you thought you had magical super powers?

Maybe you felt this way when you were little - or perhaps these days, even as a grown up person, you wish you had them ..

I was in the company of a delightful young fellow the other day who was telling me how he could make my cat Betsy magically disappear from the couch and reappear out in the garden under the lemon tree.

"How do you make that happen?" I asked to which he replied with a flourish, "I BELIEVE!"


I remember when I was little I used to want to make my sister disappear and I also believed I had powers of levitation in which I could raise myself from the ground and hover. I also thought I had x-ray vision and other super powers as per Superman etc.

​It's nice sometimes to write about our magical powers. You may have to return to childhood to those wondrous days of imagination when anything was possible and we didn't know the boundaries of 'not enough money' or 'too little time' or 'that's just downright ridiculous!' You may wish you had magical powers now ... to procure a Lotto win, to make the garden grow bounteously, to have more days of life ..
Whatever it may be, sit down and write for ten minutes without thinking too hard about it - take a leap back to childhood or into a flight of fancy, have some fun - then reward yourself with a nice cup of tea.
